      In an interview with cardiologist Edward Dwyer, MD, he describes his attraction to medicine as a youngster after listening to a weekly science program on the radio; his decision to attend Columbia University on a baseball scholarship, and staying at Colombia for medical school (College of Physicians and Surgeons class of ’57); changes in science and medical practice between the 1950s and 1960s, and the merger between Roosevelt and St. Luke’s Hospitals in 1979, as well as other details of his medical career and life.

      Dwyer, Edward M., 1936-

      Dr. Stephan Lynn was founding Chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the former Roosevelt Hospital (now Mount Sinai West) and in this engaging interview relates information about his youth and medical training, how he came to the Hospital, and how the Department of Emergency Medicine was established. He provides an "insider's view" of life in a hospital, and an overview of the development of emergency medicine as a field. He also relates many of the events which took place, most significantly, the hours after John Lennon's death at Roosevelt Hospital and the following media events.

      The documents comprising the records of the Woman’s Hospital in the State of New York include annual reports, committee reports, meeting minutes, correspondence, photographs, reprints and written works prepared by the medical staff, 19th century patient casebooks, the manuscript of the first gynecological text book in the U.S., notebooks recording expectant fathers’ thoughts, original gynecological illustrations for text books, and medical instruments. Although most of the material deals with the administrative aspects of the hospital, documentation of the medical staffs’ accomplishments is also provided.

      Bound volumes of annual reports, which include reports from the Woman’s Hospital Association, Board of Governors, Board of Supervisors and the Medical Department, form the most complete series among these records, though the collection lacks the first 22 volumes of reports, and only starts at Volume 23, 1877-1878. The reports provide a description of the hospital’s organizational structure and its constitution and by-laws. Additionally, each offers an overview of the major events and accomplishments for that year: statistical data, such as the number of patients admitted and treated, financial information concerning the budget, and donations and their donors. Several of the reports include the text of speeches given at the annual combined meetings of the Boards and biographical sketches of hospital physicians. (Note: Earlier copies of Woman’s Hospital annual reports are found at the New York Historical Society.)

      Also included in the annual reports are monthly and quarterly reports submitted to the Board of Governors by the Boards and their committees. Their dates and numbers imply that several are missing. These reports include statistical information, e.g., number of patients being treated, financial data, and descriptions of the hospital’s physical condition. Although incomplete, the medical reports provide statistical and narrative reports of the pathologist and other physicians.

      Minutes of meetings constitute a significant portion of this collection. They record the proceedings of the various Boards and their respective committees. The discussions reveal the hierarchy in the Woman’s Hospital organizational structure. There are gaps in the reports, however.

      Some correspondence addressed to the Board of Governors has been filed with the Board’s records. Several of the letters refer to appointments of physicians and other personnel, while the remainder are general in nature.

      The casebooks span dates between 1855 and 1871 and include patient information from J. Marion Sims, MD and Thomas Addis Emmet, MD. The text includes original, hand drawn pencil sketches of some of the cases, sometimes in color. The original casebooks are fragile and have been digitally scanned for researcher use.

      The records of the Woman’s Hospital in the State of New York shed light on the history of the Hospital from an organizational and medical perspective. The evolution of the hospital is highlighted by the wide time span covered by the materials. References to other hospitals and certain epidemics supply information about general health conditions in New York City during this time period.

      These files represent an almost complete official record of the Clinical Excellence Committee, the Task Forces, and their subcommittees. The minutes are complete, with only one exception. There are few interim reports or correspondence among the coordinators, the chairmen of the committees, and members. The final report is contained in Box 2, folder 1.

      Some of the minutes have notes made by Dr. Thomas Chalmers, President and Dean of The Mount Sinai Medical Center and School of Medicine. The files probably came from that office, although, aside from these few notes, they are generic.

      This collection consists of the office files of Marianne Coughlin during her years as Vice President of The Mount Sinai Hospital. Her office was responsible for overseeing regulatory accreditation, Medical Center safety issues and emergency preparedness. All of those areas are reflected here. Of particular note is information about the Management-Labor Partnership group that was created at Mount Sinai in the mid-2000s. The group included Hospital and Nursing leadership as well as representatives of Union Local 1199 and the New York State Nurses Association.
